Mrs. Mary Benson and Other People Seated Outdoors, 1933
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. This image, taken during the 1930s, depicts a group of elegantly dressed men and women enjoying a leisurely al fresco meal in a beautiful garden setting. Mrs. Mary Benson, the hostess of the gathering, sits at the head of a long, elegant dining table adorned with fine china, crystal glasses, and silverware. She wears a stylish hat and a flowing dress, exuding an air of sophistication and grace. Surrounding her are her guests, engaged in animated conversation and laughter. A maid in a white apron stands nearby, poised to attend to their needs. A man in a suit pours wine into a glass, while another man reaches for a bottle of liquor. A woman in a floral dress pours coffee into a cup, while another woman, dressed in a simple white blouse and skirt, pours milk into a bowl. The scene is set against the backdrop of lush greenery, with trees and shrubs providing a natural canopy over the table. The sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the tablecloth and adding to the idyllic atmosphere. This photograph is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and social gatherings were an opportunity to connect with friends and enjoy the simple pleasures of good food, good company, and the great outdoors. The image is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the photographer's ability to capture the essence of American life in the 20th century.
